They claim, based on reports in Spain, that Pedro is not necessarily wanted at Barca, despite signing a new contract with the club in June.

Pedro has struggled for regular football at Barcelona under new boss Luis Enrique, which has seen him linked with a move. The emergence of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar as the club’s front-three has also left him out of the picture.

However, he has a £110 million buy-out clause, so would likely be a costly transfer. Arsenal though successfully negotiated with Barca last summer for the signing of Alexis Sanchez, so will have hope of doing the same.

Eduardo Vargas’ agent has cooled talk of an apparent move to Arsenal this summer.

The Napoli forward, who spent last season on loan at QPR, has been in great form at this summer’s Copa America which has seen him linked with a move to join his team-mate Alexis at The Emirates.
